Siow is accused of failing to keep a proper lookout.
A saleswoman who allegedly drove without a licence was on Wednesday charged with causing the death of an elderly pedestrian through her negligence.
Candy Siow Pei Shan, 23, is said to have driven without keeping a proper lookout at the junction of Bukit Batok East Avenue 3 and Avenue 4 on Feb 12 last year.
She allegedly made a right turn and nearly hit a car before veering to the left, mounting the kerb and hitting Mr Tan Son Seng, 70, who was standing on a pedestrian walkway.
He died of his injuries at the scene, about 20 minutes later.
